By the age of 8, Grimes had pondered over religion long enough and announced at Easter dinner that she was agnostic.
It was also around this time that the fierceness in her competition with her brothers grew and she started doing anything she could to quote defeat them such as taking up track and field because she needed to be faster than her brothers or defeating them at a Pokemon video game.
What was happening on the music side? Well, just about now Britney and the backstreet boys were at their peak so just like any other young girl, Grimes was infatuated. However, everything started to change when she was around 12 and her parents got divorced. Grimes has said in an interview that the divorce really didn't affect her and she thought she was probably a bit mental because of it but around this same time Grimes did start acting out whatever reason it was for.
At the age of 12, Grimes got her first access to the the internet which would be incredibly influential on her outlook and music as she got to listen to a wide range of musicians from a lot of different genres all at the same time, an experience that would later lead her to describe herself and her music as “post-internet”. She also used it to cyberbully one of her teachers.

CORRECTION: That is not Mac Boucher. I mistakenly thought that was him after I went on his videography website and saw that picture on the Tukker section. I thought Tukker was a solo artist and stupidly thought that for some reason Mac was in the music video for a Tukker song eventhough he works behind the camera. Sorry for any inconveniences.
@@miyomottokamonohashikamo5810 Agreed! but also add in that she decided to have a baby to secure a paycheck. I think it's a good addition to really get a scope of who she is as a person.
@@privateemail9755 lmfaoooo
Can you please find the first song on her 2010 documentary 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@privateemail9755 That's interesting, is there more info on this? I thought she and Elon are in love, but who knows?
You had me so damn confused for a second there. I went on a violent Google search because that one image went against all I knew about Claire... and then I scrolled down and read your correction, haha.
her life is a movie. shes so crazyyy i love her.
love her so much! geidi primes, visions and art angels are my favs ;) wbu?
@@POPICANA all of c’s albums are a masterpiece, but Miss Anthropocene is my favorite :3
POPICANA those are the holy grail
🤪
Cant decide if this is sarcastic or the love herrr meme
her life seems so chaotic, no wonder she’s crazy and eccentric, i love seeing these aspects on her art too. she’s really talented.
Just so you know, the word "crazy" was invented to discredit people who are superior to you in some regard, to keep them from achieving something you know you can never achieve.
Her parents are very stricted and structured she seeked chaos on her own.
@@Gomba13 oh ok, i didn’t mean it in *that* way though…but ty for sharing this piece of history :-)
😂

Her producing a baby with Elon Musk and naming it after the wifi pasword is just one of the crazy stuff she just does.
THE WIFI PASSWORD gfkyftru 😂💀
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crazy, moronic... the line is fine
@@zomb_bree7950 😂😂😂💀
One of the things that inspire me about her is that she gained confidence after all those hardships to embrace her weirdness.
same here, she endured so much in her youth, also her living conditions in montreal...shes amazing!
seems more like her confidence first came from doing speed
@@nirmaleva but how do those two even relate?
@@seadawn8559 have you ever done speed
A word of advice from a person who has embraced being weird: if you are trying, you've got it all wrong. Just do it. It's about not giving a fuck. Trying implies that you give a fuck. Just don't.
The cutting yourself not because you're depressed but because you're hyperactive is a real thing
Yes, it is. I have met some girls who did that, as well as a couple of guys.
Its all endorphins, my dude
@@johnnyscifi Yes, I think it makes you feel more alive. I have never done it myself, but I have heard this.
It definitely helps bring down your adrenaline.
It's like opening a pressure valve
“She grew up in a middle class family” PFFFTTTT, you mean literal multi-millionaires in Vancouver?
That is middle class in Vancouver
Yeah, she’s a rich kid trying that co-opted poverty to create a more interesting identity…she got frostbite because they couldn’t afford heat? b.s. that was self inflicted
@@mrbigstufable she never tried to act poor. She just acts weird because she is. Even now
@@oh4539 i disagree. She created an entire artifice of faux bohemian poverty. Sure she is weird but she is a rich kid always has been
@@mrbigstufable that was when she moved to montreal for university and it’s literally freezing there. it’s possible to get frostbite when ur a broke student living in crackdens 💀
Grimes seems like a character out of "Skins" lol, all bullshit, drugs, deaths and issues but I'm very glad she bloomed into the human being she's today, she's the living example of pain will pass 😜
My exact same thoughts, her life is so bizarre and dramatic but she goes on because she's her. She could be just another outcast lamenting their youth or wasting away but instead she found her passion and her meaning in music, it's just a great story.
@@TheEtherny Exactly, plus her personality is *everything*
@@TheEtherny well her life didn't started out bizarre. She seeked the bizarre. Only her later years are bizarre everything before that was pretty normal.
yeah or you die!
@@user-ps9yy5cb6f She was already doing pretty well in the indie music community lol
That homeless guy was the real MVP - they taught GRIMES the basics which led her onwards. Funny, you never know what a little helping hand to a stranger will accomplish.
Okay, but if she really wanted that skill, she would have ended up finding other ways to learn it. 🤷♀️
Smart People learn to listen at an early age and not care were it comes from. You sift thru it.
The homeless guy wasn’t a stranger he was her friend, it says that in the video.
9:40 "The engine broke on the first day" that's such a metaphor for life
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
murphy things
Imagine bullying someone in school and they end up becoming a famous musician and have a child with one of the richest men in the world, while you're probably nowhere in life. Oh, how embarassing lol
Well she also fought and jumped her bullies too. I'm not sure she is a victim. But everyone has been bullied in some point and see themselves as the victim.
@@CrimsonEclipse defending yourself doesn't make you any less of a victim.
@@user-kr6uf8wr1x keep in mind this is based on her perspective. Everyone would say they have a just reason to physically attacking someone. Also based on information she provided she was the types to liked to piss people off. Also she got in trouble in school and with authorities a lot. A passive nerdy little kid usually don't have that large of a rap. Also she hung out with kids who uses drugs and alcohol in high school. Those are usually known as the bad kids who tend to bully others. Also in interviews she said in high school she hung out with the bad crowd and she does tagging and graffiti just for fun.
@@CrimsonEclipse no, kids who do drugs and alchohol are usually alt kids who get bullied. But anyways, I wasn't there and I can't know what was going on. I'm just saying that I sympathize with her as someone who used to get bullied but was too afraid to do anything about it. She at least did.
@@user-kr6uf8wr1x not really. Alternative style was actually the trend when she was in high school. Also the so called edgy kids were actually the cool kids due to the trends. Everyone gets bullied even the so called normies. The perspective based on information she provided, no one is truly a victim especially if the person prefer to piss people off on purpose and emotionally angers and trigger people for fun. Also people will choose a side due to biases they have. Example liking a style.
I can relate to Grimes. Her fear of god and religion. Also her being weird
Yh, I remember first watching the oblivion video...just amazing, then slowly falling down the grimes rabbit hole. Its so cool to see how big her fanbase has become recently, I'm so excited for what she creates over the 2020s.
@@POPICANA me too! Can't wait. Did you hear her newest song? Delicate weapon?

Pisces rising trait!
@@ladibyrd Grimes, my fave psices
She is an Elf in my eyes...very rare and few and her elf nose gives it away....I love her 💎
Elf nose?
@@putjesusfirst9814 not into the blood thing
Lol that's just a black nose sis 😂 it does look great on her though super adorable 😍
It's the exact opposite of an elf nose. Elven noses are finely chiseled while hers is bulbous and wide nostriled.
she got a nose job in like 2009
Her life should be made into a movie. She's ICONIC. period. 🙌🏾
no she's a sellout tf
Shes a rich girl.
Assuming this movie comes out over ten years from now, who would play her?
@@ryandommerman9295 rachel dratch
How about Scarlet Joe Hanson...
She reminds me of myself so much, it’s insane. From reading Tolkien (with a little help) at age 8, being bullied so badly in highschool for being weird that I dropped out and spending days upon days at a time taking speed, not sleeping, eating or talking to anyone and making art... also had plans to buy a houseboat lol
Yes me too! I have nightmares about the speed! I don’t know how I survived but I hope she has left it behind. It’s a horrible drug. You can’t talk correctly and you move funny. Your eyes look crazed too. I didn’t know that about myself til I saw a video. I would do some incredible artsy things too tho! Jeez!
@@MySkinnydip it really is a dreadful drug, it’s essentially meth! I still have my occasional issues with it, despite studying interior design full time I do get sucked back into the speed wormholes every so often. Once you start you just can’t stop, days pass like minutes and people and places pass in one giant blur
@@honorcure2004 you see that just makes me wanna try speed now lol. Ive never rely done any drugs or even alcohol im very health conscious but when i get old im gonna try everything.
@@santiagocandela354 I don’t see the harm with trying everything once but speed is a particularly nasty drug and I think you will regret it if you do take it, it makes you feel so depressed the next day and at times I’ve felt suicidal the day after... it really messes up your head... take it at your own risk!
please check if you are neurodiverse/ADHD/autistic! she is all those things! I basically live in Tolkien's world too and am in love with half of the characters, autistic people have a clearer sense of moral, the world Tolkien created seems so much more ours than the one we live in among neurotypicals...
I really, really enjoyed this. Feels like I've gained a badge in Grimeology! Extremely well done and captivating orchestration. She is a huge part of my life, so to see someone garner the effort - it means everything. ♡
ty! ;)
Grimeology! 😭
I’m here for the goths and the gays
I am both
goths 🤝 gays 🤝 loving grimes
@@nskfsr I wasn’t saying she was. I was actually quoting her from this video. She literally says “I’m here for the goths and the gays” lol
This comment deserves an award
that’s not all her fan base but ok
The video is only meant to cover how she became Grimes from childhood to her breakthrough, that's why I didn't include anything post-Visions ;)
Only saw this comment nao. Thanks for the update. Please give us more!! I so much appreciate the videos that you make
But like did u edit the title? Jw
I would've wanted to be friends with her in school
Same
I probably would have been if I were at her school at that time.
No, you wouldn't. People don't want to friends with "weird" people, they only get judged
@@brascoperryjoe6425 well I was a weird kid too luv, think for a second
well if i was on her school. i think i would def be her friends. cause im the gay 😭😭
Every time i hear about her i learn something knew. She’s so interesting and unique
Grimes has been a huge inspiration in my life... She still is. Thanks for documentation 💖
she is one of my fav too! ever since i saw the oblivion video, its been a slow dive into her world
Same here
The funniest thing about grimes is that she spent YEARS being a vocal anarchist/anti capitalist and then ends up getting into a relationship with THAT lmao it’s actually kinda depressing because artists like her, bjork etc helped empower my politics. Miss anthropocene was still a really cool album tho 🙈 I can’t make the music not bop
It's a sad irony when you find out what your idols actually value at the end of the day, when they spend so much time Trying to emulate a specific image to gain a following. People used to call it selling out..... But everyone's already sold out. So what even is it now?
I personally can't admire her since her Dm's about wanting to get pregnant to secure her bag were released. It's a horrid excuse to bring a baby into the world under false pretenses. Pretty scummy tbh.
@@privateemail9755 those were fake azaelia apologized and said so herself
@@Cmonbilly Stop spreading misinformation. There was no admittance that they were faked. If you can show proof then i'll delete my comment. But as far as the public was informed, there was an investigation underway. There was no indication that the messaged were fake.
@@privateemail9755 stop spreading misinformation too . Go fck yourself
i feel like this video is really selling the idea that she wasnt from just as much wealth as the other kids at her college, she may be "rough around the edges" as the video says but i promise that she is also making an effort to come off that way
yeaaa - especially the fact her mom is a politician and they were able to enroll her in ballet and even send her to boarding school.
what does edginess or being rough around the edges have to do with wealth/parents' wealth?! Surely it comes from your individual life experiences, and it would seem that she didn't feel akin to her parents' way of life.
Fearfully agree
@@spankme8484 It is fine she was born into a wealthy family, I only really mentioned this because the video says "starkly different experiences" than the "upper middle class white kids" at her school around 7:15. I come from a single parent household that makes below the median income and never felt poor until I went into debt for art school and met kids like this, so maybe its just personal lol.
Yeah im shocked and kinda disappointed she grew up rich.
I love grimes, she is such an inspiration. I don’t care what people think of her.
Same. She's getting so much hate lately but people just dont get it.
@@viovenda8922 I honestly don’t understand why people would create a toxic environment surrounding her. She’s very tough, talented and seems like a nice person. Sad that some people don’t see that. But you can’t please everyone in this world 😩
I’m the same but with Series Of Unfortunate Events. Read all those books as a kid and now I can’t unsee or unthink them. Everything in life relates to that book
My introduction to Dune was through the Sega Genesis video game rendition back in the mid-nineties and from there the movie then the books. I also enjoy Lord of the Rings but that was because the RPG series "Suikoden" became stagnet after 2006.
This is me 1000%
Me too they literally formed how i talk and my humor
My father read me a series of unfortunate events as a kid and I never thought about it being a developmental thing
never read them but lovee the movies and the show
I love that she went against the grain and remained bluntly honest to her interests. I respect her a lot
“Quiet town of Vancouver” lol that’s 3rd largest city in Canada. Great video tho
It's quiet. Nothing happens there
Amazing how people was able to bully her, and now worship her.... I feel so much empathy for her and loooooove her music!!!! Completly addicted... thank you for your interesting documentary !
no we still dont like her shes not some quirky weird poor girl she birthed a cash cow
@@namjoonie936 what are you jealous😂😂😂
Well people are different growing up. A lot of edgey angsty teens were really rude to people due to insecurities and anxieties. Also looking at her old interviews she was less bubbly like she is now. She is happier now due to her success but when she was younger and lack accomplishments and recognition it could create a very bitter and pity attitude. Many people are pretty bitter and angry growing up as an angsty teen but once they grew up and have their own independence and success they usually becomes happier.
Truth be told she stated she jumped and fought the guys who bullied her. I don't think she is actually a victim. She also said she hang out with people who use and abuse drugs in high school. Those types of people aren't nessessary the types to be bullied. Somewhere else she also states her and her friend in high school graffiti and tag just for fun. Everyone in life has been bullied one way or an other. Doesn't nessessary mean they are victims themselves. They just see themselves as victims because they were hurt.
LMAO. Doesn't sound like she grew up "middle class" with and investment banker father and a mother in important positions in the legal system. Doesn't diminish her art at all though.
nah, it just dim inishes the fool who made the video along with his credibility and therefore a lot of subsequent 'facts'
Right 😂 and her not relating to her other middle class college mates is a bit of a stretch. She didn’t grow up poor.
@@user-eu3hi2vo3e It is easy to understand not being able to relate to someone of your own social class due to having had different life experiences. It simply means that they were extremely sheltered, meanwhile she was secure but chose the option of exposing herself to other experiences in life. After all, the video mentions her saying they were freaking out just because it was cold outside, right after a cut of her mentioning eating food off of trash cans.
In Vancouver, that IS middle class (Investment Banker and Prosecutor) . A modest house here costs 2.5 million dollars. You have to have a really good income to live in Vancouver. Rich people here live in 15 million dollar homes here not 2.5 million dollar homes.
@@nicolescarlett2276 Being "middle-class" among the ultra wealthy doesn't change the fact that she grew up rich compared to the majority of people. It's easy to slum it and play at being poor when you don't have to. It's less fun when it's actually your daily life.
for some days now, i’ve been getting obsessed with watching videos of Grimes, there’s just something about her personality... also, we both have lisps and it feels nice that I can relate to her.
I literally loved her 2010 version but now she is completely changed and it's good for her. So happy that she is successful and out off all that shit.
Same :')
She has evolve, I still see her as her 2010 self just more grown
@@brunixot1 100%, I see her as more grown and tamed now, it makes me low-key sad that shes not really present anymore nor is being as chaotic, but it is completely understandable now her life has slowed and she even has a child
I didn't know much about Grimes's life before this video but for some reason I imagined it going something exactly like this lol
she is beyond powerful... especially oblivion grew so close to my heart & was like a wakeup call for me that I can't spend the rest of my life scared of men & being anxious because the violent things some of them did to me.
I feel like those of us who aren't raised in a religious family cannot really relate to how much of their psychology n views it has :/ Don't know if it's positive or negative per se, but definitely would have a huge impact.
i grew up with a jehovahs witness dad and, yeah, it was real shitty. you’d think kids being brought up within a religion would be easily indoctrinated but i always, always hated it and it had such terrible effects on my psyche and the way i viewed myself and the world
Very informative! I love how Grimes has been pretty private about all that’s she’s been through over the years. Unlike some artists who profit or guilt trip off of their stories that are often elaborated. Thanks :-)
That's true! You have to work harder to see the correlation between her life story and the stories in her songs
Recently, this year, I found myself suddenly obsessed with c-not only her music but also her personality, her take on the world, and her whole life story. Listening to her speak, and watching documentaries like this, I came to feel such a strong empathic connection with her I would sometimes find myself in tears. I couldn't understand why she had such a powerful influence over my emotions. Later this year, I came to learn I was on the spectrum and was delighted when Grimes recently shared her own diagnosis. It suddenly made so much sense to me: why I had this strong empathic response to her. I identify so much with her life struggles and self-overcoming; I absolutely love her music and way of being in the world; and it brings me such joy to see what she has accomplished with her life. ♡ ♡ ♡
i knew a decent amount about grimes, or so i thought, until now. this documentary was very inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. thank you for creating it
A completely captivating summary story of Claire’s life, her vision, her growth and progress, and all of her admirable traits! Thank you so much for sharing this short video. I am encouraged and enlightened by her strength and appreciate greatly her work. She is truly a beautiful person!
to all the folks saying she's 'weird, introvert, crazy' - please check if you're NEURODIVERSE (that could span from anything from ADHD to autistic, or both - which I think she herself is). you'll get many answers and finally find your people, who are just like you even if you always felt you were alone in this.
I do have the impression she has major focus issues, which is a double edged sword. She really just seems like a neurodiverse person. Not crazy, not weird, just with an overload of neural connections, an overproductive brain that needs a lot of stimulation. I do have to disagree with you on the "just like you" bit, though. Every person is an individual, no one can ever be just like you. Maybe you meant just as neurodiverse as you, but that's not the same as just like you. I am a high functioning autie and I have ADHD, and I know a lot of people who have these "conditions," and the only way we are alike is that we all understand that we are not alike and are totally fine with each other's differences, even though we also have a lot in common, like too many tabs open in our brains. Grimes is fortunate to have been blessed with a childhood environment where she was allowed to be herself and no one cared whether she is normal or not. She was allowed to find her place, unlike most neurodiverse people who are constantly pressured to be "normal." She is sort of an example of the potential neurodiverse people have if they are allowed to just be who they are rather than being treated as sick.
@@Gomba13 I too think she's neurodivergent, although I don't think she's ever been diagnosed in her life and doesn't care about that. I disagree with your evaluation of her childhood environment. Sure, she had money, and her dad read her LotR when she was little, but then she started having to do ballet and having to deal with all that strictness, then she started being bullied because of her neurodivergence/"weirdness", she tried to escape into drugs, she saw friends prostitute themselves, she was raped... I mean, she did eventually find her path, for sure, but it's not like it was easy for her, she was constantly pressured to be normal, just like every other neurodivergent (and most children and teens) - by her parents, by her teachers, by her peers at school... I do totally agree with your final statement - neurodiverse people can have a big potential, just b/c we see things so differently than most people, generally speaking, and most of all, we should just be allowed to be who we are rather than being treated as "weird" and/or having an illness. That's doubly true for people on the autism spectrum, with learning disorders, ADHD, even psychosis, who can all function very well with the right support and most of all without ignorant people, even those with ultimately good intentions, trying to "cure" them. Personally I suffer from anxiety and bipolar disorder and take meds to keep them at bay because they've only made me suffer, and I'm grateful to the doctors who helped me and, most likely, really saved my life. I function almost as well as neurotypical folk thanks to my treatment. So in my particular case I'm glad my problems are been seen as the actual illness they are and being tended to, and I think medicine can do a lot for people with actually harmful pathologies. Otoh I've never been diagnosed as autistic, adhd, anything of the sort, but judging from my interests, personality and habits, I don't really think I'm completely neurotypical, and I've been bullied and considered "weird" all my life (being bi and not really conventionally attractive didn't really help). Then again maybe I'm neurotypical? I can't really know... I would gladly have done without the alienation and scorn though, I can tell you that. Maybe I'd be a happier, more fulfilled woman.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised she had ADHD. She is all over the place.
It would be interesting to find out if she's neurodiverse or not some day. I like seeing ND people succeed in life in their own way 😊
grimes is neurodivergent(she tweeted about it) but hasn't shared her diagnosis
Her idea to construct a boat and float down the Mississippi is gold. 👌 I mean complete nonsense, but it just shows what kind of an imaginative, unique person she is.
this brought me to tears, so much chaos and beauty explained in one quick video. she's been an inspiration of mine (musically speaking) for a couple years, but now knowing a bit of her background and where a lot of her creation comes from, is such a beautiful thing.
I absolutely love this video so much , I’ve been hearing grimes music for awhile and have always been so inspired by her amazing art and just all the dedication and time she puts into her work, seeing this video makes me love her even more. Thank you for making this🤍🤍🤍
Well done! I legit watched every single Grimes interview on KZhead but I still learned some lovely facts... thank you
love those old interviews! but also lol, she is so open in them probably too much, i've done a few of these videos now and no other artist has said as much about their life as she has
Incredible documentary, I learned a lot. thank you for making this!
ty! ;)
Thank you for putting this together, It's very interesting and awesome, most videos/magazines/websites etc talk about her marriage, scandals and shit. Love to see something about how she began her music career and how talented she is!
Yeah, everyone always talks about her relationship with Musk, a lot of people even consider her "his wife"? Guys, srsly, who gives a flying fuck about Musk, she's the main attraction - she's a genius polymath with artistic vision, a good person and a powerful icon, for fuck's sake. She's her own person. Musk is a temporary detail.
How does she look exactly the same as when she was a kid 😂
I love her so much! I feel like we would have been friends in high school. So genuinely herself. The world needs more of that
Thank you for making this Documentary video of her! Grimes has a huge impact on how I view the world of arts and music
Thank you so much for this, there was so much I wanted to know about her.
I was a fan to begin with, but learned so much about her from this video. She's a legend!
you did an excellent job putting this together!! thanks so much for making this, you found a lot of hidden gems of info in here that i had no idea about before watching this. keep up the great work!
ty!
This video is amazing! I just recently came across Grimes a few months ago. I listen to her stuff daily now. I never knew anything of her background and now she's even more beautifully awesome to me❤️
I love that I’m coming across this video at a moment in my life... where I am freeing myself .... into my calling .
All I feel watching Grimes' life story, is compassion and pain. May she be well, she is not a bad person and struggles hard.
Thank you for this video!! I love Grimes but i never knew most of the stuff you put in this video it's awesome learning more abt her and seeing all those pictures.
Her story is so crazy and so inspiring! Going through what she did and then be able to come out on the other side and turn it into art, that's why I love her so much ;)
She's so amazing, I really love and appreciate her and her music/art so much! Such an inspiration
This is so fascinating, thanks! I love Grimes 💘
I've only known about Grimes for a short amount of time, but she has had a huge impact on me. Everything about her fascinates me and learning more about her childhood and early life nearly brought me to tears. I don't want to be one of those people who thinks they are exactly like someone else, but I did relate to a few things here, especially how she was bullied at school. I always feel there's something about a person who has been through that kind of thing; a determination to succeed coupled with inner turmoil. I absolutely adore this human for so many reasons. She has awakened my own creativity after nearly four years of writer's block. I'm writing music again and enjoying art and style because Grimes has put that spark back in me.
Amazing documentary! I'm such a huge fan of Grimes. and love to digest anything about her! She's so fascinating to me and so very unique. There was so much new information covered here and images I'd not seen before; especially regarding her childhood/teen years. As much as I hate how terrible it sounds like she was treated at her school and all the sad events in her life; I love knowing how many obstacles she's overcome and how everything shaped her into the queen she is now. Her story is such an inspiration. Great job, and thank you for putting this together!
ty! its so interesting to listen to her music after finding out where she has come from especially Visions, I feel like you can really feel the pain she was trying to get across and where she was at that time, becomes a much more engaging experience
Thank you for making this documentary. There was a lot of early details I had not seen before.
the reasearch u do for these videos and how quickly your putting them out and finding pictures and video! this channel is so good
thank you for making this, very inspiring
ty! ;)
I listen to her since many years before anyone knew her, and I always liked her. A strong intelligent woman. Go Grimes! ✌️❤️
Thank you so much for this video she’s my favourite artist ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this information about Grimes ! I am following her already a long time, but this video finally gives me some answers about her childhood. Merci bien !
that video at 1:42 where she's singing and playing the ukulele in a cold basement.... iconic
Loosing a friend this way seems so hard to live, she was very strong, she inspires me
I'd love a part 2 with more recent news!! love ur work soso much
This documentary is so well thought out and executed. Thank you for sharing your work with us
This girl is an absolute GENIUS. Her mind works in an amazing way, I've never seen someone who thinks the way she does musically
New subscriber thank you so much for your work!!! Wonderful narration. Been a fan of grimes since 2014 I didn't know some of the things you researched. Thank you.
Amazing person. To have emerged so genuinely creative in such an environment
This was so fun to watch! I loved Visions in college and didn't know her backstory. Well done!
I feel like this woman and i’m so obsessed
Wow This deserves more recognition
ty! ;)
Agreed.
This was an amazing doc, been listening to her since 2014 and didn't know a great deal of this! Thank you, newly subscribed
I've been a big Grimes fan since first hearing her in 2011 and this video covered so much info that I didn't know. Excellent job on this!
I really enjoy this short documentary
ty! ;)
I remembered encountering her on Spotify when they recommended me Flesh without Blood. I didn't know much of her but I listened to all of her albums. Skin is my favourite song of hers. I always feel that exact sorrow and despair going through a massive break up. I have an affinity towards her because she's a weirdo like me and I love LOTR and science fiction.
Thanks for this bro!
loved it!you did really great job!
I love grimes she is a big inspiration in my life and i love you too now for making this( : thank you!
i love grimes sm so whenever i see her, i simply click😇🙏 this vid is so good, love it
ty! ;)
wow this is great. i've been a fan of hers since 2017 and every now and then i go on this kind of manic thing about her where i watch all of her videos, listen to her music, read interviews, find old social media etc and honestly there was a lot of interesting things that i didn't know, so kudos for the research. people usually call her crazy but by watching this is obvious to me there is a reason behind all the "crazy", impulsive shit she's done. thank you for this. keep up
Thank you for this!
loves it thank you
She's amazing, i love her artwork, music, talent, taste and her as a person. Been enjoying her music since 2012... She has improved and grown so much!!! ❤️
thanks for this!
The way Popicana tells a story is amazing!
i love this!! been a supporter of hers since 2010
Wow! You got to experience her full artistic journey. Damn, it must've been so different to be a Grimes fan pre-Elon. I only started listening to her in late 2018, it's interesting going back how much her life has changed since then
A friend of mine went to highschool with her. He didn't say much about her, just that she's probably the most popular person to come out of that school. Its in a super posh part of Vancouver, and I can confirm the bit about drugs. You wouldn't believe how many Byng alumni have serious drug issues
I love this, it should definitely get more views
Need a part two to this story
she seems like an incredible person with a huge heart. It hurts me to know the pains she went through but t=I'm so happy that she attained such massive success in doing what she loves.
I love her. She has so much creativity and mythology that she channels into her music. I like that she makes sharp pivots and tries new things, even if her music has sounded very different in each of her albums, its all unique
this is my second time watching this video and I wanted to compliment you this time on how well researched it all is! very very good :)
Awesome work! Love it!
Some random guy on rec room told me I reminded him of grimes so I'm here now
her life was so sad, i'm glad she's really successful now, she's so talented
I don't know why I relate with her so much. She's an icon for me and all! No wonder, hardships, adversities makes one a strong, kind and rare gem like a person.
